Maybe even quarter X or 1/10th X Sulfur rates. As in less Sulfur. A common topic of disussion is wanting more prim battles, less raiding (just less not none), and more scarcity of resources to feel more like a survival game again. If Sulfur is actually rare again, people will be clinging to their last bullets, using bows a lot more, and the pop might sustain if it's not so easy to foundation wipe a 2x2 overnight

modded players would have a heart attack
We did 0.5x on the hardcore pve for 8-9 months, and the general consensus is, its just more grindy, and limits building, not exactly more fun. If it takes 30K sulfur to raid 1 big base, thats still 300 sulfur nodes. 1/10th would mean 3000 nodes
of course 2x is half that
who would want to farm 1500 nodes? 😮
lol
modded players are mostly working people, dont have a lot of time, and want less grind, and straight to peak playing

The server actually started out as 2x vanilla solo only... over a year ago, the server was the standard 2x solo only weekly map / monthly BP wipe, liek CNDBLOOD. That format has died out, Warbandits is one of the only servers pulling it off with a short 3-4 day wipe cycle. So we tried to make a 2x version attractive to our vanilla players for over a year now, and it still has a very high turnover rate of players. We kept changing the config to be slightly more and more modded but minimal improvement. There was 500 players in December on there though but a lot of people join and quit and never come back
So the recent changes are trying to cater to modded players more who dont have a lot of time
